I just received my top case brake light for my '21 R1250RT from Canada (their price was much less then the USA dealers). No doubt your excellent video will make the install a piece of cake tomorrow. I am so glad I found you and your side kick. You are informative and your conversational style is fun and easy to follow. From Sacramento , California, thank you, I am your newest subscriber!
I just recently purchased one of these top cases and although it was expensive the quality and color matching is world class. The locking / attaching mechanism works flawlessly with the OEM back rack. Your video was helpful in showing how to install the optional brake light. In the USA this option is currently selling for $293, crazy expensive! But anything that adds a bit more visibility is worth it. Thanks for posting.
Thank you! These were excellent instructions helping me install this light on my 2012 K1600 GTL. The only difference was that my light came already mounted inside the bracket. Otherwise everything else was spot on
Just got through the install of a top box brake light on my new GTL. The kit came with no instruction so this video was essential. I would not have known to pop the little "rivets" out through the center. Not sure what I would have done. 15 minutes later and I was finished. Thanks so much!!
Excellent review. I bought the bike used with the top box …..but my inside light in the top box doesn’t work. So do you have to have the central locking system on the bike which then provides you the electrical harness connection to plug into in the back of the bike under the seat ?
Hi. Thanks for the useful vid. Been thinking about getting one of these lights. You mentioned you brought it from Germany. May I ask which retailer? Any issues with taxes and import duty? Cheers! 👍🏻
Hi thank you for the reply there wasn't any import tax on the rear brake light.. I'm struggling to find the company I purchased it from.. but I have found this uk company for you.. Bahnstormer bmw its £160.00 hope this help... it's slightly more expensive than I paid, but a damsight cheaper than I got quoted from my BMW dealer regards Graham

Picking up mine on Monday and it hasn't got a topbox brake light so this was extremely clear and helpful. Thank you!

I'm in the same position. $300 and no instructions? Thank goodness for this vid.
perfect thanks, made the fitting a breeze, apart from the release clip on the cable connector cover, that took a bit lol
Thank you very much from Spain for your video. I have bought that same light for my BMW R12500 RT
Epic video helped me out on my 2022 k1600gtl cuz when you order these parts they dont come with instructions lol well done.
Very nice of you to share this. Great video
Thanks for watching. consider subscribing buddy. ride safe. 🏍✌️
Can you share where you purchased your light please? BMW want £250 to buy it and fit it but I'd like to save a few bucks if I can.

hi, the centralized locking of the top case of the k1600gt doesn't work, what do you think could be the cause? Thank you.
Super, Thanks for your video. It helped me a lot.
Do you happen to have a part number? I have a 2012 K1600 GTL. I’ve found one for 1250RT. Not sure if its same one.
What's the website in Germany you purchased yours from?
Great video have you got the link or name of the site in Germany as would like to fit one to my new 1250 RT , have subscribed as I like you stile
